Devil Ancestor Luohou's Scheme! Three Kingdoms Investiture of the Gods!

"How was it? What insights did you gain after reading it?"

Qin Xi wrote the final character on the white paper, completing the compilation of the Tao Te Ching.

Qin Xi turned around and asked Ao Xin what she thought after reading Primordial World: Romance of the Three Kingdoms. After all, he had put some effort into writing it, so he naturally hoped for his reader's approval.

"Dian Wei's loyalty in protecting his lord."

"Zhao Yun's fearless courage."

"Guan Yu's timeless loyalty and righteousness."

"If I had to choose a favorite character, I naturally prefer Cao Cao of Great Wei."

After pondering for a moment, Ao Xin gave her answer.

The simplest reason she favored the forces of Great Wei was that when Qin Xi wrote this book, he had portrayed Cao Wei as the Dragon Clan, Shu Han as the Kirin Clan, and Eastern Wu as the Phoenix Clan.

As the dignified Daughter of Ancestor Dragon, she naturally could not betray her own kind.

It was only a pity that Zhao Yun, who was practically a perfect embodiment, had joined Shu Han's camp.

She truly did not know what was so good about that hypocritical Kirin Emperor—Liu Bei—that so many fierce generals and brilliant strategists were willing to serve him.

"Is that all you saw?"

"Please enlighten me, Valley Master."

"Cao Wei, Sun Wu, and Liu Han—are these three powers not strikingly similar to the current situation?"

"Indeed. Our Dragon Clan is powerful, so the Phoenix Clan and Kirin Clan formed an alliance to oppose us together."

"But do you know who first caused this three-way stalemate?"

"General of Heaven—Zhang Jiao."

"And who ultimately seized the world?"

"Grave Tiger—Sima Yi."

"Do you understand now?"

Seeing Ao Xin's bewildered expression, Qin Xi placed the Tao Te Ching in his hand onto the bookshelf and spoke.

The war between dragons, phoenixes, and qilins was much like the chaotic conflict of the Three Kingdoms he had written.

Countless heroes and outstanding figures had emerged, yet in the end, they merely turned to dust in history, vanishing completely in this great war—the Tribulation.

The one who triggered the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation was Devil Ancestor Luohou!

He had taken on the role of General of Heaven, Zhang Jiao, following the Heavenly Dao in launching this Tribulation.

And the final beneficiary of the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation was also Devil Ancestor Luohou!

He had likewise taken on the role of Grave Tiger, Sima Yi, accumulating immense Karmic Debt. As long as he defeated Hongjun and won the Demonic Path Strife, he could attain the Dao and become a Saint!

By then, the history of the Primordial World would likely undergo earth-shaking changes.

"It's fine. The final outcome has already been decided. Take your time thinking about it."

Qin Xi stretched lazily and spoke without concern.

The Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation had already reached its final stage. Its outcome had long since been set and could not be changed.

Even if they knew this was Devil Ancestor Luohou's scheme, the hatred accumulated after so many eras of conflict among the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Clans had long become irreconcilable. There was simply no way for them to stop.

Even if Ancestor Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, and First Qilin wished to call a halt, the members of their respective clans would never agree.

"Uh..."

"Valley Master, what exactly are you talking about?"

Ao Xin recovered from her thoughts and wanted to ask further.

However, Qin Xi had already disappeared. Having finished revising the Tao Te Ching, he had gone straight back to his room, ready to sleep.

Ao Xin had no way to do anything about that.

She could only rely on herself to ponder the meaning behind the Valley Master's words.

"The war of the Three Clans, Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

"General of Heaven, Zhang Jiao; Grave Tiger, Sima Yi."

"The one who ultimately seized the Heavenly Dao's Fortune was not one of the Three Kingdoms, but the long-scheming Sima Clan."

"..."

As if she had suddenly realized something, a dangerous thought flashed through Ao Xin's mind.

Could it be that the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation had been the result of some great Primordial World expert's scheme from the very beginning?!

No, no, no. That was simply too unbelievable!

To scheme against three Quasi-Sage Peak experts at once, along with the entire Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Clans—the Karmic Debt from that would be unimaginably immense. Even another Quasi-Sage would likely be reduced to ashes by such terrifying Karmic Debt.

After all, hundreds of millions of living beings had been nearly wiped out because of a single scheme.

"No! I have to hurry back to the Dragon Palace and report this to Father."

At that thought, Ao Xin could no longer sit still.

As a member of the Dragon Clan, she naturally could not watch helplessly as the Dragon Clan was schemed against, only for someone else to reap the fruits of victory after countless of her kin had been sacrificed.

If it truly came to that, the Dragon Clan would likely weaken completely.

They would become prey for anyone to bully.

They might even be reduced to livestock and mounts, divided up among other immortals. The other two clans would fare no better.

"Three Families Return to Jin."

"Then who will the Three Clans ultimately return to?"

Ao Xin drew a deep breath and murmured to herself.

Without realizing it, she flipped Primordial World: Romance of the Three Kingdoms in her hands to the final page. There lay an ancient golden scroll, bearing five profound characters at its beginning—Three Kingdoms Investiture of the Gods!*
